Description
This is purpose-built ammunition tailored specifically for the cowboy action shooting community. Magtech loaded these rounds to Single Action Shooting Society specifications to ensure they perform exactly as competition requires. The 158-grain lead flat nose bullet design feeds smoothly through both traditional single-action revolvers and lever-action rifles without the cycling issues some standard .357 loads encounter.
What Makes Magtech 357L Cowboy Action Load Different
The flat nose profile isn't just for looks. This bullet geometry feeds reliably in lever actions, settles faster in revolvers for quicker follow-up shots, and creates that satisfying sound and flash that defines the authentic cowboy action experience. With a muzzle velocity of 1085 fps and 413 foot-pounds of energy, you get enough power to ring steel and drop targets decisively without excessive recoil that wears you down during long match days. The round generates lower felt recoil compared to full-power .357 loads, making target reacquisition faster and your wrist happier after extended shooting sessions.
Reloadable Brass and Quality You Can Rely On
Each round comes in a brass case with a boxer primer, meaning you can reload them cost-effectively for high-volume competition and practice. That matters when you're running multiple matches or logging serious range time. Magtech manufactures their own components from start to finish, giving them complete quality control throughout production. The ammunition is non-corrosive and loaded with consistency that translates to predictable accuracy round after round.
These work equally well for general range practice, plinking, and recreational target shooting beyond competition use. If you run a .357 Magnum revolver or lever action, this ammunition solves the real-world problem of standard .357 loads not cycling reliably in some rifles while delivering the exact performance cowboy action demands.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Magtech 357L Cowboy Action ammo cycle reliably in my lever-action rifle?
Yes. This ammunition is specifically engineered for trouble-free function in lever-action rifles. The flat nose bullet profile feeds smoothly through the magazine system and chambers reliably, solving the feeding issues that sometimes occur with standard .357 loads in rifles. Many competitors and practice shooters appreciate it for this exact reason.
Is this ammunition loaded according to SASS standards?
Yes. Magtech 357L Cowboy Action rounds are loaded using specifications written by the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS), so they meet competition requirements for cowboy action events. The moderate velocity and energy levels are intentionally designed for the demands of competitive shooting.
Can I reload Magtech 357L brass cases?
Yes. The ammunition comes in reloadable brass cases with boxer primers, making it economical for high-volume shooters and competitors who fire multiple matches regularly. This helps offset ammunition costs if you reload.
What's the difference between this and standard .357 Magnum loads?
Magtech 357L cowboy ammunition is loaded to lower velocities and pressures compared to standard .357 Magnum, which reduces recoil and makes target recovery faster. The flat nose bullet design optimizes feeding in revolvers and lever actions. It's purpose-built for cowboy action shooting rather than being a general-purpose .357 load.
